Comments Thread For: Golovkin Smiles: Many Mexicans Love Me and Nobody in Kazakhstan Loves Canelo!

[M111]

One thing a lot of the comments appear to forget is that fighters styles often change as they age, in particular styles like Golovkin’s. It happens in every sport. You train differently as you age, your punch resistance drops, you slow down. None of that suits a come forward style that’s reliant on your reflexes and defence being better than your opponent’s.

Golovkin has clearly adapted his style since the second fight with Canelo. He left Sanchez because he had no plan B. Sanchez was still ****ing on recently saying Golovkin needs to return to his old style which is clearly bitter rubbish as Golovkin’s ageing body can no longer play that game the same. He’s covering up more, throwing less and taking more shots, none of which is great going into a rematch with Canelo.

The one thing Golovkin does have over Canelo is potentially his engine. Canelo who’s been so reliant on his power does slow down in the second half of the fight a lot. If Golovkin can withstand the inevitable initial onslaught then I believe that’s his best chance. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s his game plan - wind Canelo up to the point of rage so he goes flat out for the stoppage early and empties his tank in the process.

It should be noted that Golovkin has never been down let alone stopped in 350 amateur bouts and 44 professional ones. All those predicting a stoppage should remember that, the guy has one of the best chins in the sport. I think he’ll weather the storm but will loose on points, genuinely this time.

M111. He left Sanchez because he didn’t want to pay him 10. I’d do the same exact thing if I was G.

Indeed Sanchez did apparently get greedy, however, GGG isn’t daft and clearly whatever gameplan Sanchez had come up with for that second fight hadn’t worked. If he’d won my guess is that he’d have retained Sanchez and paid him more.

There's no one harder working than Canelo who came from the streets,.

He literally grew up on a farm.

"Nobody in Kazakhstan loves Canelo"


The only people in Kazakhstan are GGG himself and Borat.

Mexicans see ggg as a culture vulture, fake clown. Mexicans are not too fond of canelo either, but they still support him more than ggg.

Mexican people in general are not ****y and diva-like. We’re easy going, hard working people. When you get someone like Canelo who walks around like his **** don’t stink, it really rubs some Mexican folk the wrong way, when comparing to past greats … so of course, People will root for GGG’ fan friendly come forward style that’s very reminiscent of old Chavez … my two cents …

And they also love sticking a knife in your back, well, in my experience.

GGG is something else. The last beating Canelo gave him took him a year to recover from physically. He’s willingly to put himself through that again for money. He’s getting his ass beat for 12 rounds again and it’s taking years off his life. Canelo is still somewhat young for the ring and is a big man in a little mans body and can handle the punches right now. He just needs to take it down a notch since he’s not 25 anymore and he’ll destroy these guys. I do need to see Canelo beat Jermall’s ass before it’s all over.

He won't come near Jermall, he ran and dropped his belt when he was his mandatory, and turned every corner without looking back, no matter how loud Jermall called him out. That's an ass whooping he won't sign up for.

There's no one harder working than Canelo who came from the streets, has been fighting since his teens, and busily lines up champs. Nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of your labor. The claim that he's some super arrogant guy is just projection when he gives back to his people and always takes time with fans. He doesn't even talk much smack until it becomes personal, even though everyone is always coming after him.

As far as the hate Canelo gets in Mexico, much of it is a byproduct of the social media age where every hater and uninformed casual can spew their narratives online. The funny thing is they can't even stay on the same page, like some calling his opponents bums (even Bivol) because they don't follow boxing and don't know the champs, then others say the opposite and claim his wins are so impressive his opponents must have thrown the fight.

As far as GGG being this super humble guy, again that's just projection. GGG straight up said he'd "seize" on the opportunity to legally kill someone in the ring which is low even for boxing. Kazakh fighter Bobirzhan Mominov who shares the same amateur coach as GGG and spent time in both the GGG and Canelo camps talked about his complete opposite experiences with GGG having a reputation of being cold with his fellow countrymen boxers and wouldn't give him the time of day when he asked for advice and even ignored their mutual coach when he visited him. He said Canelo was the opposite being the first to greet everyone in camp and even personally gave him money to help him get out of his contract when he heard he was having promoter problems.

GGG runs around like his **** doesn't stink bragging about his legacy when he never put in the same work or took the same risks as Canelo.

This lady’s and gentleman is what happens when you grow up without a father and around nothing but pure estrogen. Someone get this dude a tampon and a midol. Golovkin at 27 was in Monaco fighting for the kind of cash they had paid Canelo at 16. Foh with this nonsense. Canelo weight, clenbuterol, a side bullshhhh. We could be here all day deconstructing your hero. I won’t waste my time. I’m convinced some of you dudes, are only capable of seeing what you want to see.
